NerdWorldNJ SERVICE AGREEMENT
1. Definitions.
"NerdWorldNJ" is the interactive on-line service operated by On-Site Computer
Service ("On-Site") on the World Wide Web of the Internet, consisting of
information services and content provided by On-Site, affiliates of On-Site and other
third parties. "Subscriber" means each person who establishes or accesses a
connection ("Account") for access to and use of NerdWorldNJ.
2. General.
(A) This Agreement, which incorporates by reference other provisions applicable to use
of NerdWorldNJ, including, but not limited to, supplemental terms and conditions set forth
in paragraph 13 hereof ("Supplemental Terms") governing the use of certain
specific material contained in NerdWorldNJ, sets forth the terms and conditions that apply
to use of NerdWorldNJ by Subscriber. By using NerdWorldNJ (other than to read this
Agreement for the first time), Subscriber agrees to comply with all of the terms and
conditions hereof. The right to use NerdWorldNJ is personal to Subscriber and is not
transferable to any other person or entity. Subscriber is responsible for all use of
Subscriber's Account (under any screen name or password) and for ensuring that all use of
Subscriber's Account complies fully with the provisions of this Agreement. Subscriber
shall be responsible for protecting the confidentiality of Subscriber's password(s), if
any.
(B) On-Site shall have the right at any time to change or discontinue any aspect or
feature of NerdWorldNJ, including, but not limited to, content, hours of availability, and
equipment needed for access or use.
3. Changed Terms.
On-Site shall have the right at any time to change or modify the terms and conditions
applicable to Subscriber's use of NerdWorldNJ, or any part thereof, or to impose new
conditions, including, but not limited to, adding fees and charges for use. Such changes,
modifications, additions or deletions shall be effective immediately upon notice thereof,
which may be given by means including, but not limited to, posting on NerdWorldNJ, or by
electronic or conventional mail, or by any other means by which Subscriber obtains notice
thereof. Any use of NerdWorldNJ by Subscriber after such notice shall be deemed to
constitute acceptance by Subscriber of such changes, modifications or additions.
4. Equipment.
Subscriber shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining all telephone, computer
hardware and other equipment needed for access to and use of NerdWorldNJ and all charges
related thereto.
5. Subscriber Conduct.
(A) Subscriber shall use NerdWorldNJ for lawful purposes only. Subscriber shall not
post or transmit through NerdWorldNJ any material which violates or infringes in any way
upon the rights of others, which is unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, invasive
of privacy or publicity rights, vulgar, obscene, profane or otherwise objectionable, which
encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability
or otherwise violate any law, or which, without On-Site's express prior approval, contains
advertising or any solicitation with respect to products or services. Any conduct by a
Subscriber that in On-Site's discretion restricts or inhibits any other Subscriber from
using or enjoying NerdWorldNJ will not be permitted. Subscriber shall not use NerdWorldNJ
to advertise or perform any commercial solicitation, including, but not limited to, the
solicitation of users to become subscribers of other on-line information services
competitive with NerdWorldNJ.
(B) NerdWorldNJ contains copyrighted material, trademarks and other proprietary
information, including, but not limited to, text, software, photos, video, graphics, music
and sound, and the entire contents of NerdWorldNJ are copyrighted as a collective work
under the United States copyright laws. On-Site owns a copyright in the selection,
coordination, arrangement and enhancement of such content, as well as in the content
original to it. Subscriber may not modify, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer
or sale, create derivative works, or in any way exploit, any of the content, in whole or
in part. Subscriber may download copyrighted material for Subscriber's personal use only.
Except as otherwise expressly permitted under copyright law, no copying, redistribution,
retransmission, publication or commercial exploitation of downloaded material will be
permitted without the express permission of On-Site and the copyright owner. In the event
of any permitted copying, redistribution or publication of copyrighted material, no
changes in or deletion of author attribution, trademark legend or copyright notice shall
be made. Subscriber acknowledges that it does not acquire any ownership rights by
downloading copyrighted material.
(C) Subscriber shall not upload, post or otherwise make available on NerdWorldNJ any
material protected by copyright, trademark or other proprietary right without the express
permission of the owner of the copyright, trademark or other proprietary right and the
burden of determining that any material is not protected by copyright rests with
Subscriber. Subscriber shall be solely liable for any damage resulting from any
infringement of copyrights, proprietary rights, or any other harm resulting from such a
submission. By submitting material to any public area of NerdWorldNJ, Subscriber
automatically grants, or warrants that the owner of such material has expressly granted
On-Site the royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive right and license to use,
reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate and distribute such material (in whole or in
part) worldwide and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media or technology
now known or hereafter developed for the full term of any copyright that may exist in such
material. Subscriber also permits any other Subscriber to access, view, store or reproduce
the material for that Subscriber's personal use. Subscriber hereby grants On-Site the
right to edit, copy, publish and distribute any material made available on NerdWorldNJ by
Subscriber.
(D) The foregoing provisions of Section 5 are for the benefit of On-Site, its
subsidiaries, affiliates and its third party content providers and licensors and each
shall have the right to assert and enforce such provisions directly or on its own behalf.

On-Site is a distributor (and not a publisher) of content supplied by third parties and
Subscribers. Accordingly, On-Site has no more editorial control over such content than

services, offers, or other information or content expressed or made available by third
parties, including information providers, Subscribers or any other user of NerdWorldNJ,
are those of the respective author(s) or distributor(s) and not of On-Site. Neither
On-Site nor any third-party provider of information guarantees the accuracy, completeness,
or usefulness of any content, nor its merchantability or fitness for any particular
purpose. (Refer to Section 6 above for the complete provisions governing limitation of
liabilities and disclaimers of warranty.)
In many instances, the content available through NerdWorldNJ represents the opinions
and judgments of the respective information provider, Subscriber, or other user not under
contract with On-Site. On-Site neither endorses nor is responsible for the accuracy or
reliability of any opinion, advice or statement made on NerdWorldNJ by anyone other than
authorized On-Site employee spokespersons while acting in their official capacities. Under
no circumstances will On-Site be liable for any loss or damage caused by a Subscriber's
reliance on information obtained through NerdWorldNJ. It is the responsibility of
Subscriber to evaluate the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any information,
opinion, advice or other content available through NerdWorldNJ. Please seek the advice of
professionals, as appropriate, regarding the evaluation of any specific information,
opinion, advice or other content.
12. Miscellaneous.
This Agreement and any operating rules for NerdWorldNJ established by On-Site constitute
the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and
supersede all previous written or oral agreements between the parties with respect to such
subject matter. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of New Jersey, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. No waiver by either party of
any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or
subsequent breach or default. The section headings used herein are for convenience only
and shall not be given any legal import.

NerdWorldNJ, or for any delay or interruption in the transmission thereof to the user, or
for any claims or losses arising therefrom or occasioned thereby. None of the foregoing
parties shall be liable for any third- party claims or losses of any nature, including,
